Combat Protection

Moving into riskier operations, combat grade armor ranges from biohazard suits that seal the user from external threats to the spec ops armors. These specially made armors are purpose built to be used as a set. Usually with a bodysuit for comfort and environmental protection under a layer of modular semi-rigid and rigid protection. While highly effective, these armors do restrict the user’s movement a bit.

Extreme Protection

When you go into high-risk operations these are the armor you want, usually black ops and WJF armor fall in this category. These are strictly body-glove + plating sets that can be mismatched but usually sold as a pack. Some extreme protection armor can increase the user’s attributes by use of exoskeletons or other cybernetic-like mechanics. These include Xo5, GARB armor and WJF Phallanx armor.

Xo5

Developed by Zircon Matsua Industries (ZMI), Xo5 body armor has high stopping power against all bladed weapons, blunt weapons, and small arms fire.
